Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Anatomy of the alimentary tract of Salminus brasiliensis (Cuvier, 1817) (Pisces, Characidae, Salmininae) [PDF]

Biotemas, 2008
The alimentary tract of Salminus brasiliensis shows anatomic adaptations to its carnivorous, ichthyophagous feeding habit, particularly regarding the distensible esophagus and stomach, especially the caecal region, and the relatively short intestine. The

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]

, 1990
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Spiral valve intestinal barrier functions of juvenile Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) were changed by low or high-lipid diet

Aquaculture Reports
The intestine serves as the primary defense mechanism safeguarding fish body against pathogen infiltration. Unlike cyprinid and salmonid fish, sturgeon features a distinctive special spiral valve structure within their intestines. Several studies propose
